About Jackson

Jackson is a staffy mix bursting with energy. At a little over a year and a half old, he thrives on long walks or a good run and always lights up when there's playtime with another dog. He can get rough during play, so he does best with dogs who can match his high spirits—he’s definitely not a couch potato. There’s no hiding it: Jackson absolutely does not get along with cats, and chickens should steer clear too. He’s better with older kids (10+) who can keep up with his spirited personality, while toddlers probably aren’t ideal matches. Jackson needs a home with plenty of space to run—think country living with a big, secure fenced yard. He can’t be allowed to roam freely because he’s too eager when it comes to small animals. Give him room and active companions (human or canine), and he’ll reward you with his affectionate, goofy side. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
